it's not a recipe, but I found this sufficiently interesting, at least for grasping the conceptual differences.

"The hottest new programming language is English" - Karpathy

I call bullshit, mainly because any natural language is ambiguous at best, and incomplete at worst.


I envy your bubble.


I admit it is a nice one.

My base salary has doubled and I enjoy my work a lot more now that I don't have to accept all kinds of MS shenanigans to play a part in how I work.

Having a working search engine shouldn't be underestimated either: living from 2012 to 2022 knowing that search used to be a solved problem but wasn't anymore was really annoying.


I only know C#'s async/await, and know nothing about goroutines / virtual or green threads.

You seem knowledgeable on the matter, care to share some resources that might help me grok the differences?


we're a very short step away from a "hardware" database


And in sw dev, especially the US flavor, individual workers are highly directly incentivized to hit that next earnings target via vesting programs...


Individual developers have very limited impact on earnings targets.

creative power without control is like a rocket with no navigation—sure, you'll launch, but who knows where you'll crash!


medium.com too... I hate it


You come from a weird place.


Don't worry, we say the same about the US, where 12pm comes before 11pm.


Does that mean that in your country, the day is considered to start at 1:00 AM rather than midnight? That choice is very strange when combined with the choice to call midnight "0:00" rather than "12:00 PM".


No, we just don't use AM/PM. In written language, the 24 hour format is used exclusively. When the 12 hour format is used in spoken language, we either leave it out entirely when clear from context, or use "in the morning" vs "in the evening".

So noon is "12 in the morning", which is an hour after "11 in the morning"; and midnight is "12 in the evening", which is an hour after "11 in the evening".


That's not really compatible with your comment about the US. By your own description, you do exactly the same thing that the US does,† but it's only strange when the US does it?

† That is, you follow 11:00 PM with 12:00 AM, and you don't actually refer to "AM" or "PM". Both of those are normal US practice. You are different in the use of 24-hour formats in writing, but that has no bearing on the question of whether the hour following 11 PM is 12 AM; you just assured me that that's true in both countries.


In your comparison, we follow 11:00 PM with 12:00 PM, not 12:00 AM.


So the day begins at 1:00 AM rather than midnight?


No, the day begins at midnight, we just call it 12:00 PM.
